Analytics on the IT labor market: we analyzed over 5,000 vacancies and resumes of project managers. The picture turned out interesting, with skill maps and insights.

Key takeaways for those who manage projects or hire those who manage 👇

Experience and Money: Two Different Worlds

👍 There are simply more candidates: the number of resumes exceeds the number of vacancies by about 1.6 times. Candidates still tend to list irrelevant experience.

😏 Vacancies with experience "up to 3 years" and "more than 6 years" live in parallel universes — requirements and salary levels differ dramatically. In resumes, salary expectations grow smoothly and evenly.

↗️ The most expensive specialists have worked in Russian retail and big tech. Statistically, the high salary bar (third quartile) in resumes is noticeably higher than what is initially offered in vacancies.

💀 In terms of demand, vacancies with a noticeable lead are... 1C implementation! Also traditionally highly valued are creating and maintaining IT architecture and ERP systems.

🐠 Vacancies often don't list skills at all (or write 2-3). Meanwhile, candidates in 15% of cases fill this field to the brim. Fortunately, the analysis found no link between the number of letters in a resume and salary growth.

🐝 The most mature skills in the market are integration, budgets, top management. The "youngest" skill, unexpectedly... literacy.
English = 💰. At the top of salary expectations are resumes with fully English-language job descriptions.

🔸 Clustering showed that PMs are clearly divided into groups. The market is looking for people for specific tracks:
— Hardcore IT development and product management.
— Process management (Agile/Scrum, team coordination).
— Business analysis, B2B and negotiations.
— Marketing and CRM systems.
— Tenders, procurement and work with contractors.
